Shia LaBeouf
America's new leading man?
I'm not so sure.
People, young women most assuredly, seem smitten by his demeanor. Many are excited about the second Transformers movie, and most hate him altogether.
I personally enjoy listening to him talk because you can clearly hear his intelligence. He's well spoken and proud of what he does. But the undercurrent of 'fuck-you', is what really gets me.
In many respects I don't think Shia is trying to live up to our wet dreams, or fantasies of marriage. He's not here to make you like him. He's not going to be in the next romantic comedy. Shia does his job, and, I believe, he enjoys it if only for the money. Maybe for the girls too, if this morning's episode of 'The Today Show' is something to go by.
Despite the media stuffing him down our throats and hyping him up, LaBeouf is a good actor.
Not our leading man, though many of you girls out there may differ. He's no Gene Kelly, nor is he a Leo Decaprio.
Maybe that is his appeal. A fresh face for Hollywood.
This week Shia LaBeouf is 25% more popular than last week, according to IMDB.com And On an obscure Facebook site, 'Where Are All the Manly Men?', Shia is the Manly Man of the Month.
One has to wonder what makes a manly man then.
I don't think Shia is going anwhwere as far as movies are concerned. Soon we're going to see him in movies to rival ones with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Personally I'll enjoy seeing him in Indie films, and small projects, he brings something to the screen that isn't quite what one thinks of when expecting the traditional type of talent. He's a bit more raw than that.
We shall see, quite literally, what LaBeouf has in store for America. Let's hope its no more painful surgeries and drunken parties with the Cheetah Girls.

I love his acting, I think he's very charismatic...and I saw that weird video where he's drunk with those cheetah girls ugh.
i LOVE shia! he's so sexy and i love the way he's just so relaxed. especially in the movie disturbia, that made my heart melt!
Haha girls, it was really hard to write this without too much bias. I really just wanted to write SHIA=LOVE a million times. His intensity, or what he shows of it on T.V., is fascinating. He is very attractive, but in a way I think it's his modesty that makes him so charismatic. I was crushed when I found out he was at Dulles Airport and I missed him. Dulles is about 15 mins from my house. I could have just died.
